Abstract

Researchers from the Verwey-Jonker Institute with considerable experience in research among sex workers and the focus group Seksworks of the Municipality of Tilburg, formed by (former) sex workers from the region Hart van Brabant, will describe the situation of sex workers during the coronavirus pandemic in the region Hart van Brabant. Together with the sex workers in this region, they will also create concrete policy recommendations and restart scenarios for the sex sector, which in consultation with the Municipality of Tilburg will be implemented and monitored.
